Amazing PR was my first role as a graphic designer. At the agency I worked very closely with the founder and assisted her in the design on the agency’s famous blog and designed their presentations for client pitches.
“I joined the team at Belazu in 2020 and have worked closely with José until he moved to Madrid. José is very creative and is a hard worker. He always meets deadlines and adds value to conversations, making time to listen and work towards the best solutions. Creatively, he thinks outside the box and challenges his peers to deliver the best results. He has been a valued member of the team and will be missed.”
Kalisha Nurse-Warner • Marketing Manager
“I found my experiences with José to be fun rather than work. He is a brilliant graphic designer who helped us develop the strong branding for Good Guru. His eye for detail, eagerness and creativity go well beyond any of our expectations. He never missed a deadline, was great on photography and was an overall fantastic creative lead for the brand.”
